Happy World Autism Acceptance Day.

Here's 2 of my #OwnVoice books in @booksupstairs.bsky.social :

For adults: Wired Our Own Way; an anthology of autistic Irish voices, published by @newislandbooks.bsky.social

For Kids: Being Autistic (and what that actually means), published by JKP.

I’m Sicilian, so I thought writing a sapphic mob story would be fitting.

I consider my characters as composites. A little of this person and some of that, blended a certain amount of #ownvoice in each one.
